So how the lemonade would I go about spiking my hair?

[Guest Kaise]

I have a lot of hair, my friend says it's heavy. I want to spike it tomorrow.

That above is what i call a failure. I'm trying to avoid that, and i'm relatively new at this. And yes, i do have hair gel.

I don't have wax, nor can i rush out and buy some.

Don't use so much water when you gel it. Dry it out a little bit until your hair is damp, so it can move but stay in one spot at the same time. Once you do that you can commence to styling.

[size="1"][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Well when you do go about getting some style tools, I'd suggest getting Garnier brand "Fructus Style" [b]Manga Head[/b] explosive putty.

Instant Goku. No joke.

I have really really thick hair so gel sucks, as does zee wax. This is the first style stuff I have come across that actually works throughout the day.

I feel like a "Brand power" commercial now.

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=4][FONT=Impact]well i couldn't take a look at your picture cause im using a govy computer and photbucket is blocked out. back when i was in high school and still had hair. I would use LA LOOKS gel. I dont know which one level it was but i would always use the yellow one. I had thick havy hair (i barely have hair now adays in the military) and i tried using gel and wax. I could never get the hang of using wax but gel as always good. just like jubei said make sure your hair is not wet but just slightly damp.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Century Gothic]How the lemonade!? How the [B]lemonade[/B]????

I dunno...

I heard that egg whites work well...and elmers glue. But i've never tried it myself. Also i know the egg whites stink so you're supposed to use hairspray or something to cover up the smell.

Anyways, good luck.

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=SeaGreen]Lemonade? Hmm...Kool-aid lemonade is a good toilet cleaner! But yeah, to conform, hair gel. It doesn't really matter what kind. Try experimenting with spiking techniques just after you get out of the shower - since it's just water, you don't have a bad hair day if you screw up. I should know because I did that when my hair was short(I also pretended to be a gangsta! "Wassup homie G-dog skillet nizzle biotch yo?") If nothing else works, try cutting your hair just a bit shorter. That works pretty well too, 'cause it stays up easier. [/COLOR][/FONT]

Not only will it make caltrops out of your mane, it's also keep it nice and shiny... like French bread crust (or was that the yolk?).

Maybe you could put a drop of vanilla extract just to keep the stink down.[/COLOR]

Got 2B Glued is excellent for using to put hair in spikes or other styles that you want to stay put. Cosplayers swear by the stuff. I can tell you from first hand experience with the "glue" that it WILL keep your hair in spikes. Very stiff, dangerous spikes that could possibly act as a weapon. I kid you not, Got 2B Glued is some hardcore hair product!

[size="1"][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Haha. Serious rock solid spikes are indeed lethal weapons. As is any hair that has been so well cemented. I remember during our 2003 school musical "Back to the 80's" that it was hazardous for male members of the chorus to stand in close proximity.

The amount of times I had a wayward spike of gelled+waxed+sprayed hair stabbed in my eye...eeesh. Made me almost regret how tall I was.

I'm even taller now, but still. Lethal o.O;

The concept walking through cosplay characters at a convention makes me ponder wearing the hardcore lab safety specs over my glasses...[/size][/FONT]

As far as readily available stuff at CVS or Walgreens or whatever goes, this is probably your best bet. It's not that expensive either.

If all else fails and you cannot buy anything, some people use Elmer's Glue. It washes out pretty easily, apparently, but I'd never put that crap in my hair. I have to imagine if you have darker hair it would look awful, too.

Um... squeeze some extra strength gel between your fingers, run your hair through your fingers and pull. Gauranteed to work.
